While the Mayor and some “concerned” residents have been busy with the invasion of Orthodox Jews, other citizens of Toms River have been busy doing other things: committing criminal acts. Committing criminal acts in Toms River. Committing criminal acts in the townships surrounding Toms River.

Huggins was seen shortly after 10:30 p.m. parked in the lot in a 2014 Kia Forte, and police officers approached the car, Malland said.

Instead of busying themselves with combating crime, its seems the governing body has been been busy with other things: buying $10 million worth of land in a bid to keep Orthodox Jews out of Toms River. In a comical twist, in their haste to keep the Jews out, it seems the township forgot to speak to the owner of the property.
